It seems that one of Barbie’s 326 jobs, that she has had in her life time, was being a stewardess.

This is the airplane Friend Ship. Catchy name eh? I do like seeing how well the clothing and luggage is stored in the back of the plane. Like that would really happen lol.

My apologies for the late comment response and few posts last week. Seems like whenever I am gone for a week, the following week is a whirlwind.  I am excited to say, that yesterday, I picked up an electric guitar which was one of my goals for this year for learning something new. Enough of that… on to the 70s.

We are starting the week off with the Barbie Dream Boat. Barbie has it all, doesn’t she?  This boat was huge! At 4′ feet long that would about the same size as your child! Where on earth did our parents find places to put all of these large play sets.

I have noticed a lot of the toys in the 70s folded into convenient carrying cases. One of our army men play sets did the same thing. That was one of the toys we were allowed to take when we went some where because it was so hassle free. Is it the same way still these days?

There is a lot of interest in Barbie cases on this site so I wanted to post some more for our visitors. This advertisement comes from the 1970 Barbie Catalog.

Pictured above is the “Skipper Doll Case” and several versions of the “World of Barbie” dolls cases. One of them folds out into the “Family House”.

Barbie Two-Doll Sleep’ N Keep Case from the 1975 Sears Wishbook. I have to rely on our lady audience out there to let us know their memories!
